The Arizona Hotshots scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to overcome the Memphis Express and their own mistakes in a 20-18 win Saturday night.

The Hotshots got a 4-yard touchdown pass from John Wolford to running back Tim Cook with 7:07 remaining to take the lead. Justin Stockton had scored on a 45-yard run four minutes earlier to kick start the Hotshots offense.

Wolford, last week’s AAF Offensive Player of the Week, finished with 194 yards passing and two touchdowns, but also had two first-half interceptions.

Arizona, now 2-0 in the inaugural Alliance of American Football, next plays Saturday at Salt Lake City.
